Everything

The Irish animator’s last project, “Mountain”, seriously confused the world of games. Gamers and media wondered what this thing actually is: is it still a game, a simulator, or maybe an art installation? Maybe it’s a satire on the industry? O’Reilly himself kept quiet – and instead of explaining, he went off to work on a new project that confounded players even more. His new game is a physics sandbox, a nature simulator, an interactive documentary, a mystery, a meditation on life, the first game that might win an Oscar. “Everything” is… everything.

Award-winning Irish animator and artist. He worked, amongst others, with Spike Jonze – working on “Her” is what inspired him to make games. “Everything” is his second game, which he made together with programmer Damien Di Fede.
